Also buried in Grave B 316 are:

Joseph FORD born Prestbury, Cheshire from parish of Cheadle, occupation - servant, married Betty HOUGH born Prestbury of Woodford, spinister at Saltersford-Cum- Kettleshulme, Prestbury on 30/10/1815. They were married by John Browne Vicar. Joseph FORD signed his name and Betty HOUGH left her mark X in the presence of John FORD and Joseph REDDISH.
We have located the following baptisms to Joseph & Elizabeth FORD at the Unitarian Chapel Dean Row:
Eliza born 1813 baptised 1814
Fanny born 1816 (we can assume this is Joseph FORD & Elizabeth HOUGH as Fanny is found with them on the 1841 census and is probably named after Joseph's sister Fanny)
The following baptism to Joseph FORD & Elizabeth FORD (nee HOUGH) at the Unitarian Chapel, Dean Row:
Hannah baptised 1825 (Hannah is also on the 1841 and 1851 census and is buried in the same grave as her parents)
Where it gets confusing is that our family's Joseph & Elizabeth FORD (nee BRACEGIRDLE) also have baptisms at Unitarian Chapel Dean Row:
Ann baptised 1822
John baptised 1824
Luckily these two baptisms note the maiden name of the mother, but the other siblings of both these two separate families can be easily attributed to the wrong family when the maiden name of HOUGH or BRACEGIRDLE is not noted. This is where burial records and censuses help clarify the situation.
Joseph & Elizabeth (Betty) FORD - nee HOUGH can be found on the 1841 census living at Hoe Lane, Stockport, Bramhill. Registration district - Stockport, Sub-district - Hazel Grove).
